About 17% of the US workforce is officially "underemployed"; that's a very large number. I would think a large chunk of that are young, healthy people who work one or more part-time jobs without benefits. They're to be forced into the health insurance marketplace as well, with government assistance if they can't afford it -- essentially, there will be a tax dollar transfer to insurers that could absorb much of the extra cost of also insuring people with pre-existing conditions. It really is hard to predict how it will play out.
